Description

libmei is a C++ library for manipulating MEI files. At its most basic, it provides a thin wrapper around the libxml2 library, and allows application developers to manipulate MEI elements and attributes as C++ objects. Currently, the library has been tested and compiles on Mac OS X and Linux machines.

The first release focuses primarily on the core MEI functionality. There is another, experimental layer that functions on top of this core that provides handy features like data type checking, "musical" convenience functions (like getting all notes in a tie) and other handy things. These features are still under heavy development, though, and should only be used if you know what you're doing.

Compiling

libmei has been tested to compile on Mac OS X 10.6+ and Ubuntu Linux 10.04+. Windows testing is needed!
